Coconut jam, also known as kaya, is a creamy, sweet spread made primarily from coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, often flavored with pandan leaves for a fragrant aroma. Originating from Southeast Asian cuisines, it is a staple in dishes from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. Rich in flavor, coconut jam is commonly enjoyed on toast, biscuits, or used as a filling for pastries. While it offers some nutritional benefits such as potassium and healthy fats from coconut milk, its high sugar content makes it a treat best consumed in moderation. The eggs provide additional protein, though the overall calorie density is substantial due to the generous amounts of sugar and fat. Coconut jam is beloved for its silky texture and intense, tropical sweetness, making it a delightful addition to desserts and breakfast spreads in its native cuisines.
